20 The Helper (2/2)
In the midst of the confrontation, they suddenly heard the rapid pounding of horses' hooves from afar.
Everyone turned to look in the direction where the sound was coming from.
Soon they saw horses coming in from outside Forest Mist, and in the thick fog, the horses didn't show any signs of slowing down or panic.
Apparently they weren't ordinary horses.
As soon as Guo Zifei saw the incoming people clearly, she revealed a delighted expression on her face and shouted, ”Your Highness!”
”Yu—” The horses stopped before the crowd.
A handsome man in bright yellow jumped off his horse.
Guo Zifei immediately rushed over and cozied up in his arms like a petite bird, then she protested coquettishly, ”Your Highness, why did you come so late? I've been waiting for you in this fog for a few days!”
”Haha, it's my fault, Feifei!” The man stroked Guo Zifei's face lightly then he said with a faint smile, ”How about I let you get first pick when I find rare Mystic medicine in Forest Mist later?”
Speaking of rare Mystic medicine made Guo Zifei immediately think of the Qingying Fruit which had been eaten by Muyan and the child.
She ground her teeth for a moment then suddenly began to sob. ”Your Highness, you must seek justice for me! We managed to find a Qingying Fruit with great effort and watched it for three days and nights before snatching it from the mouth of an exotic beast. Who knew that someone else would then rob us?!”
”Qingying Fruit?” Upon hearing ”Qingying Fruit,” the man's eyes couldn't help but widen. ”Where is it?”
Guo Zifei pointed at Muyan and said with a loathing voice, ”This woman snatched it away. I told her that it took us great effort to get the Qingying Fruit, but she was just so shameless and she took the fruit and ate it!”
The man looked over in the direction Guo Zifei pointed.
When he saw Muyan, who was holding Xiaobao in her arms, his pupils shrank in a rush.
He immediately released Guo Zifei and took a few steps forward, staring at Muyan dead-on. ”Young lady, you ate my Qingying Fruit? Do you know who I am? You'll pay for taking what's mine!”
